The email can be composed only by elements you see in specialcodes. That goes in the SIDES part of the template.
As you probably saw already, you can use (with X raging from 1 to 9) these codes for color names:
[SIDES_TXTCOLORNAME_X]
[SIDES_CLIPARTCOLORNAME_X]
[SIDES_SHAPECOLORNAME_X]
For email templates, just listing them all is all you can do. Email templates do not allow "logic", so all you can have is a raw list of all color, including duplicates.
If you want anything different, IE adding some exclusion logic like showing only the unique used colors, generating the email text via an API script would be the only way.
